The Beauty of Serenity

Inside a bamboo forest
I see the bamboo swaying.
Inside a bamboo forest
I hear the leaves singing.
Enjoying the beauty I see
and the sounds I hear
I close my eyes
to enjoy the serenity
of the moment.
Within the serenity
I feel a presence,
within the presence,
someone touches my arm
and whispers in my ear,
"I am here to fulfill
your dreams I am bliss,
always take the time
to embrace precious
moments such as this."
For what seemed
like an eternity
I take in the serenity.
Later I open my eyes
and no one is there,
no one except
the beauty
of serenity.

Bamboo and Vietnam didn't always mean the same thing. Still, it is what it is now and that is the main difference. Nice work.

In the serenity, being one with the moment, you grasp the eternal and feel most alive. Vey nice poem, i can relate to the experience.
